Loving your herb garden...so clever! I need to do one for our home, adding to the project list. ;) Great tip on finding the tubs at a tractor and farm store, hadn't thought of that and now know where I need to get a bigger tub than I had last year for my Christmas tree. :) Have a wonderful day Carrie and enjoy all your herbs! Are you going to dry them before winter?

What a super cute herb garden! Somehow galvanized tubs just go perfectly with herbs. Looks like yours did splendidly this summer. I'll look forward to hearing if they make it through the winter indoors - the idea of fresh herbs all year is delightful. Sadly, I don't have enough sun that comes through my windows to make it possible here. Alas... Hope your week has been a good one!

My name is Shirley and I write for Funchkins: The Funky Art of Design blog. We featured your container herb garden on our blog a couple of days ago, you can visit the post here: http://funchkins.com/2011/11/04/compact-kitchen-door-herb-garden/#.TrQUwvQr27s

I love this idea! I also, found it on Pinterest.. What different herbs do you have in there? I can make out the Basil and it looks like Mint on the top photo? I thought mint would probably take over, I didn't realize you could plant it all together like that, that's why I was wondering what all you had.

I love this! I too saw it on Pinterest. Thanks for sharing. I plan on making mine tomorrow! I will have to bring it in at night so the plants don't freeze, but hopefully they will thrive as well as yours did!

A couple of years ago, I made what I called a "teapot". Large in circumference flower pot (not to deep)and I planted 2 different kinds of mint, stevia, and lemon balm. To make tea, I just picked an assortment. It was very attractive in the pot too. Sorry, I don't have a picture of it anymore. I gave it away as a gift.

So I'm guessing you just stacked the buckets right on top of the soil and planted seeds around them? Also found this on Pinterest and I'm going to be starting my own garden this year. Very cool idea and thanks for sharing!!

I absolutely LOVE your photos and your idea! I'm hosting an EVERYTHING GARDEN Linkup and would love to have you linkup with us! Here is a post explaining it: http://teachersofgoodthings.com/calling-all-gardeners/

I just wanted to say that I saw this last year after I had already planted my pathetic patio herb garden and I couldn't wait to do this this year. I have had SOOOO many compliments on this from my neighbors and it is such a cute idea! I did lettuce in the big tub and herbs in the second one and they are just loving it. Thanks for the great idea!
